Because all kinds of incredible cooking geniuses often appear in the game field, finding food has become a compulsory course for every player.

Several people skillfully found the hotel kitchen.

Although a heavy metal lock was hung on the kitchen door, it was useless in front of the humanoid lock picker Xiao Lan. It only held on for a second before leaving the stage sadly.

The kitchen is as shabby and dirty as the outside, and there are many overly lively small animals.

Whether it is the stove or the kitchen utensils, they all look very sloppy, making people suspect that those who eat and not have diarrhea are all gifted.

Fortunately, Wang Teddy brought cooking props, which he learned from his brother.

Some of the ingredients were packed in sacks and piled haphazardly in the corners, basically jerky, beans and potatoes, with no green in sight.

Wang Teddy stepped forward and looked at it: "It's okay, it's still fresh."

A few people took some ingredients and ran to the unmanned corner behind the hotel.

Wang Teddy said that his cooking skills have improved and he is really not bragging. His cooking level has evolved from how steel is made to the edible category, which is really amazing.

Soon with Luo's help, the simple dinner was completed, but according to the time, it might be a late night snack.

Not to mention that it is full of color and fragrance, but it has reached the standard required for human survival.

Xiao Lan, Luo, and Wang Teddy ate directly, only Qi Ning remained motionless with the mask on.

Facing everyone's doubtful eyes, Qi Ning picked up the plate: "I'll go back to eat."

After saying that, he left.

He still implements his policy of not taking off his mask when he kills him, even in the face of teammates.

Seeing Qi Ning's back disappearing, Wang Taidi quietly asked Xiao Lan, "What do you think Qi Ning looks like?"

Xiao Lan said, "I don't know, I've never seen him take off his mask."

Wang Teddy sighed: "I really want to see it, I wonder when he will pick it?"

Xiao Lan thought for a while: "You can choose to peek at him taking a bath."

No matter how strictly guarded people are, they wouldn't even wear a mask when taking a shower.

Wang Teddy didn't know what pictures to fill in his brain, and he hesitated in seconds: "Forget it, I don't want to become a human specimen yet."

After the meal, several people went back to rest first, preparing to look for clues the next day.

——

the next day.

Several people split up in the town looking for news related to the altar.

Xiao Lan walked with Luo as usual, while Wang Taidi and Qi Ning were used to walking alone, and they agreed to return to the hotel at sunset to exchange clues.

Walking in the town, the residents are still very unfriendly.

At the same time, Xiao Lan also felt that the surrounding fire seemed to be burning more intensely, but the residents of the town did not show any nervousness about it.

Xiao Lan tried to ask them, "Aren't you worried about the fire outside?"

A man without legs replied: "Hey...the town of Mona is blessed by Sarah, as long as we are religious enough, nothing in the world can hurt us. But you are different...you guys The stranger will surely die."

Hearing his words, a few people next to him also laughed sullenly.

They looked at Xiao Lan with schadenfreude in their eyes, as if they would be cursed in the next instant.

These people seemed to feel like they were under Sarah's blessing and had nothing to worry about.

But in fact they have nothing but mutilated and alienated limbs and crazy spirits.

Xiao Lan and Luo ignored them and continued to walk in the town.

Suddenly, Luo reached out and pointed to an abandoned house: "That looks a lot like the style of clothes in the player's resident store."

Xiao Lan followed his fingertips and looked over.

A piece of clothing hanging on the broken window was seen, covered in stains.

The two walked in a bit, and Luo reached out and took down the fragment.

This is indeed the most common clothing style in the player's station.

Although can't say how unique this dress is, it is still very suspicious to appear in this closed town.

Lowe checked and said, "It doesn't look like this shard has been hanging around here for long."

Xiao Lan pondered: "According to Teddy, Sarah's Song will not be reset, so this may be from a player who entered before, and...he has a high probability of being alive now."

Luo nodded.

Xiao Lan said: "Let's go, let's find him, maybe we can find some new clues."

The two searched for traces in the vicinity of the debris, looking for the direction where the player might be.

The further we go, the more desolate the front is, and there is no human voice.

The surrounding houses have been vacant for many years, and many have collapsed.

It turned out that the area of ​​Mona Town was much larger than Xiao Lan thought, but now there are only people living in the area at the entrance.

Finally, the traces stopped in front of an abandoned house.

The house looks relatively intact from the outside, but the glass on the windows has been shattered.

The two carefully pushed open the dilapidated door, which made a harsh rubbing sound.

In the hall behind the door, a person was sitting on a tattered sofa.

His hands were tucked into his sleeves, his half-drooped face was full of ravines, his hair was gray, but his arm muscles were strong and powerful, making it hard to tell what age he was.

Hearing the sound from the door, the sitting person raised his face.

He doesn't look very "human" anymore.

The raised face has no eyes.

It's not the same trauma as the residents of the town, but the entire eye area is a complete layer of flesh, it looks as if no eyes have grown at all, and some root-like things grow out of his face.

Although it looked strange, he still had an aura that only high-level players could have. With the signs of damage on his clothes, it showed that Xiao Lan and the others were not looking for the wrong person.

Before Xiao Lan could speak, he started talking to himself: "Contract...power, I want stronger power..."

Xiao Lan and Luo looked at each other.

This mental state is not very good.

Xiao Lan cautiously took a step forward and tried to communicate with the other party: "Hello, are you a player too?"

Hearing the word "player", the other party reacted: "Player, player, yes, I'm a player... an advanced player... I'm very good..."

Xiao Lan asked, "Do you remember how long you've been in here?"

The player said: "Come in... Sara's Song... Contract..."

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly: "I can't go! I can't go!!! Hehehe...you don't even think about it...don't ever think about—"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out his hands in his sleeves and attacked Xiao Lan fiercely.

It was only now that Xiao Lan could see that his hands were no longer normal human appearances. The tops were like tree bark, but the fingertips were long and sharp, and they were still eerily dark green.

Xiao Lan was well prepared, and dodged the blow with a dodge.

At the same time, Luo, who was waiting by the side, also rushed over, kicked the player in the face, kicked him to the ground, and then retreated a lot.

"Ho..." An inexplicable voice came from the player's throat.

He turned his head slightly, determined the location of the visitor with his hearing, and continued to attack the two.

Like a beast that has lost his mind, he is full of thoughts of killing, and has no intention of communicating with people at all.

The three fought in this dilapidated living room.

As expected of a person who is qualified to advance to a high-level player, even in this state, his combat power is still not weak.

However, in the face of Xiao Lan's two-on-one fight, he soon showed his flaws when he was no longer at his peak.

The sharp claws brushed Xiao Lan's side with a dangerous green light.

Xiao Lan also unceremoniously slapped his arm with a stick, and the arm that was hit instantly made a cracking sound of broken bones.

On the other side, Luo's attack also struck again, with a ruthless kick that broke one of his legs mercilessly.

The player who lost his support suddenly fell to the ground.

But strangely, there were only a few drops of green liquid left in the wound he left in the battle.

"Ah... ho... ah..." He let out a whimper in a strange tone.

Xiao Lan took a few steps closer with the stick: "Can we chat now? I have healing props here, and I can treat you later."

The player lying on the ground seemed to regain some sense: "What do you want to know?"

Xiao Lan asked, "How long have you been in here? Why did it become like this?"

The people on the ground thought for a while: "Maybe a few months, maybe half a year, maybe a year, I can't remember. As for why...hehe...I was sent to Sarah, but He said I was an unqualified sacrifice. After that, I was thrown out and left to fend for itself here, and slowly it became like this.”

Xiao Lan asked, "Have you met Sarah?"

He nodded: "Yes, I have seen... very close, very close... He..."

As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, and it seemed that his lack of strength made it difficult to pronounce.

Xiao Lan was about to get closer and listen carefully, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

A sense of crisis hit his heart, he stepped back instantly, and switched the [Bone of Rebellion] to a shield and erected it in front of him.

Luo also quickly erected a shadow in front of him.

The next moment, the head of the man on the ground burst open.

The green juice splashed all over the living room and splashed into many places in the living room. The places that touched the juice made a corroded "sizzle" sound, and an unpleasant smell dissipated instantly.

After a while, Xiao Lan put away her shield.

Luo sensed the smell in the air and nodded to Xiao Lan: "It's not poisonous."

Only then did Xiao Lan approach the corpse on the ground.

The headless corpse was motionless and looked dead.

There is only green liquid at the fracture on the neck, and there is no trace of blood. It seems that there is no blood in this person's body.

Xiao Lan found a tablecloth and covered the body.

Although the other party's attitude was not friendly, it was clearly in the wrong state of mind. For the sake of being a player, Xiao Lan still restrained him a little.

This person used to be the top group of advanced players, but unfortunately he could only die in such a nameless way in the end.

After some tossing, all they got was "unqualified sacrifices".

If the unqualified sacrifices will be thrown into the town to fend for themselves, then... what about the qualified ones?

Where will Wang Ke be?

Xiao Lan and Luo searched the room for a while, but unfortunately they didn't find any clues.

The death of the player broke the clues of the two, and they could only continue to search.

Unfortunately, they didn't get any clues in this area after that.

The two changed directions and moved on.

——

"Hey, stranger." In a remote corner, a hand reached out and beckoned to them.

Xiao Lan looked over and found that it was a young man.

His clothes were as shabby as those in the town, but he did not lack arms or legs, and his facial features were intact. Except for the twisted skin on the back of his hands, there was almost no trace of alienation.

Seeing that the two were not coming, he added: "I have something here that you will definitely be interested in."

Saying that, he waved the suitcase in the other hand.

Xiao Lan took out the [Bone of Rebellion] and walked over cautiously, as if planning to collect protection fees.

Luo followed closely, looking like he would charge a few more protection fees if the husband was happy.

Facing the two men who came towards him with murderous intent.

The young man in the corner felt a hairy back, and even wanted to challenge his limit running speed.

But he still tried to hold on.

Xiao Lan walked in front of him, glanced around, and made sure there was no ambush before putting down the stick: "Is something wrong?"

The young man swallowed: "I... I have something to sell to you here."

Xiao Lan raised her eyebrows: "What?"

The young man couldn't help holding the suitcase in his arms tightly: "I want, I want to give money..."

Xiao Lan smiled: "You don't even say what it is, how can we give you money?"

The young people in this small town seem surprisingly innocent.

"Oh...is that so?" The young man scratched his head, a little uncertain.

But the movements in his hands were still tight, and he didn't seem to trust these strangers.

Luo directly took out a wad of cash from his pocket and waved it in front of him.

The young man's eyes looked at Qian, as if he had seen a cat with a funny cat. His head followed Luo's movements little by little, and he looked a little naive.

With the banknote ability to open the way, the ensuing dialogue will be much smoother.

Luo took back the money: "Tell me what it is. If we are interested, the money is yours."

An excited smile appeared on the young man's face, and he patted the suitcase: "I found this from the body of a stranger. You are also strangers. Do you want this too?"

Xiao Lan: "..."

The logic of this simple and thick line is also very powerful.

However, he really hit right. After the player dies, the related items will disappear. If the stranger is the player, the suitcase that can be carried by the player probably belongs to the game field, and it is likely to be the relevant clue.

Xiao Lan said: "We need to take a look first to be sure if you are lying."

"Okay." The young man nodded decisively and handed over the suitcase, looking very deceitful.

He didn't even think about what would happen if two people in front of him robbed him and ran away.

Luo took the suitcase and opened it to find a lot of paper materials, all about the small town of Mona.

Many of the materials are of different paper and age, and the recorded content is more detailed than what the players uniformly obtained.

This is probably a clue collected by someone, it is unclear whether it is the player or the private investigators who were sent in before.

Luo nodded and paid the money happily: "Now, they are yours."

The young man took it and counted happily: "1, 2, 3, ... 9, 10, 1, 2, 3 ..."

He looks like he will only be within a few dozen, which makes people worry about the education level of this small town.

But is there really a school here?

Thinking of the different reactions of the young man and other residents, Xiao Lan said, "You seem to be different from the others."

The young man raised his head: "Different?"

He looked around, made sure there was no one, and whispered, "Because I don't believe in Sarah."

Xiao Lan: "Why?"

The young man shrugged: "Does Sarah really make us happy? I only see that there are fewer and fewer people in the town. Besides, they all say that Sarah's singing is good, but I just find it so ugly, and I feel dizzy after listening to it."

"Although Sarah will protect our town, why don't those who left come back? I think the outside world must be better." He added.

Luo asked, "Has anyone ever left?"

The young man nodded: "Well, my neighbor just left and didn't come back."

"What about you?" Xiao Lan asked.

"Maybe I'll leave too. I heard that living outside is very expensive. I need to save more money now." The young man said, "Oh yes, if you die, can you return the suitcase to me?I can sell one more time."

Xiao Lan: "..."

You are a real business genius.
